The current tallest waterslide in the world is Brazil's Insano, standing 134.5 feet high, with riders hitting speeds of 62.5 mph. The Meg-a-Blaster should go a little faster and, with a second hill at the bottom and my lack of a physics degree leaving me flummoxed, I can't see how people won't go flying off the end of the flume and into the sunset.

Went back as an adult and it sucked. I'd love something that was awesome as an adult.

I brought my kids one day to ride the train and my wife dared me to ride the new slide. I didn't hesitate. I have to say it was pretty fun. You stand on a platform and the bottom drops out from underneath you almost straight down.
